Your article seems to say that all churches should be singing choruses and new songs because all churches
are somehow stagnate or not growing. But that is not true.

As a worship leader, it is not my job to make sure the congregation sings a certain type of music, but to find
*their* "voice" and allow them to worship in it. That means 60% hymns for our church. It may mean choruses for yours.

How can we push for choruses and demand that a congregation sing them if they have no heart for them but
rather that the hymns speak their hearts? That would be like telling a congregation that if they didn't raise their hands and sway to the music they weren't really worshipping.

New songs are good! But I don't think we can say that the old songs are detrimental to all congregations. If we see our congregations falling into the trap of singing songs by rote, there are ways to remedy that. Reciting the words, singing a different tempo, combining two songs. And even introducing a chorus or two! So you see I am not against choruses. What I disagree with is your stand that all churches *need* to sing choruses.

Maybe you were not speaking for all churches but it surely came off that way. I apologize for assuming that you meant all churches if you did not by saying that your article did not differentiate between some and all churches. You also did not make any exception for churches which choose not to sing choruses that are growing and producing mature disciples as they worship in spirit and in truth.

If this isn't repetitive then I don't know what is. Day and Night forever they repeat this phrase. This is heaven worship.

It sounds like some people just can't let go of there tradition even if they are wrong themselves.
